Chapter 28 The Pursuit of the Forest
After sending Shangguan Zisang away, the sky was clear. Murong Xun had a shallow sleep. When he woke up, it was almost noon. After packing up for a while, I heard Yan Yu say that Murong Hua invited her to go.
At this moment, Murong Hua just went back home. After a simple meal, he went back to the study. When Murong Xun entered, he was buried in the official document. When Murong Xun came in, he just raised his eyes faintly. It took a long time to ask, "What's wrong with the neck?"
Murong Xun stroked the scars on his neck. Although it was treated yesterday, there were still some shallow marks. Compared with yesterday, it was much lighter and less eye-catching, but it was still completely obvious.
"There was some accident. It's all right!" Murong Xun said lightly.
Murong Hua frowned and showed a little unhappy, "How do Yingge and Yanyu do things!"
Murong Xun said, "Regardless of their business, it's just an accident!"
Murong Hua put down the pen in her hand, looked at Murong Xun and said, "Don't interfere in Xuaner's case again!"
Murong Xun said suspiciously, "I don't know what my father means?"
Murong Hua straightened up, his eyes darkened, stared at a corner of the room, and said in a low voice, "There are too many forces involved behind Xuaner's case. If you go deeper, it will only roll bigger and bigger like a snowball. In the end, it may end up to a level that can't be cleaned up, and I don't want you to be involved in it!"
Murong Xun restrained his expression, looked at Murong Hua's expression, and observed the slightest expression on his face. "Speaking of this, I have always been confused. Your attitude towards the second brother's affairs seems to be too cold!"
Murong Hua opened the corners of her mouth, showed a mocking smile, squeezed her lips again, and her expression returned to cold. "Someone must be targeting the Murong family or the Shangguan family in this matter. There must be a conspiracy behind it that we don't know! As for Xuan'er, he has someone to worry about him!"
Murong Xun was stunned for a moment. She looked at Murong Hua's appearance and became more confused. There was a feeling on Murong Hua's face that she couldn't understand it at all now. A strange feeling mixed with regret, self-deprecation, and determination.
After a pause, Murong Hua said again, "The fifth aunt... If you can, try to make friends, and it will definitely help you in the future. If you don't want to, try not to offend her!"
"I know!" Murong Xun smiled gently.
Murong Hua looked out of the window, and the sun was shining brightly. He slowly said, "Your third sister is coming back soon!"
Out of Murong Hua's study, Murong Xun walked to his yard. She couldn't help looking up at the flowing clouds in the sky. She didn't know that Murong Yao had arrived safely in southern Xinjiang at this moment? She remembered that whether it was in her previous life or this life, all the happy days were already in southern Xinjiang, a warm and humid land. She not only doubted that if she had not insisted on coming to Chang'an with her father a few years ago, she would not have encountered the doom of her previous life. Maybe she has now married one of her father's subordinates and lives the most ordinary life! At that time, she was young and just wanted to go out and make a breakthrough. Where did she know the value of the word ordinary?
Now I understand, but it's a pity that I can't help it.
In a dark forest, several farmers in ordinary clothes were besieged by several black killers.
A middle-aged man was dying with a sword in his chest. He took out a cloth with blood stains from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of another man beside him. He said weakly, "Go to Chang'an and get justice for us. Leave me alone. Go!"
The man held the cloth tightly in his hand and said with tears, "I will definitely get justice for the villagers!" With that, he looked at the man who was about to die beside him, gritted his teeth, got up, and ran towards a path.
And the black killer behind him, after killing a farmer with a knife, he clenched the knife and shouted, "Chasing, don't let people run away!"
The man ran all the way and looked back from time to time. Seeing the black killers behind him getting closer and closer, he couldn't help panicking and shouted in horror, "Help, help!"
A killer in black flashed and jumped in front of the man. He raised his knife to cut at him without mercy. Just as the sharp blade was about to touch the man's neck, a silver light flashed, and the knife in the black killer's hand had flown away from his hand, and he fell to the ground fiercely with his body, spitting a few mouthfuls of blood.
The other killers in black were stunned for a moment, and then looked around vigilantly. The dense forest was quiet, only the friction sound of the leaves blown by the wind.
"Cock" the sound of the branch being trampled off, "What kind of person!" Several killers in black stiffened all over and waved their knives in different directions.
A silver light flashed, and the two black killers had been thrown out from afar, and then the others were thrown out in the same way and lay on the ground horizontally. And the dense forest is still quiet, and even the trembling of every leaf seems to be clearly heard.
Suddenly, a dark blue figure fell from the sky, and a pair of cold eyes glanced around, and a faint lips squeezed out a sneer, "Who are you?"
Several people in black looked at each other and knew that they were definitely not this person's opponent, and this person's action was as fast as a ghost. It must be difficult to escape from this person's hands. So they drew their knives and prepared to suicide.
The man in blue was fast-eyed, and the silver whip in his hand waved, and the knife in one's hand was shot down by him. The silver whip was thrown around the waist of the black killer. With a little force, the man was brought to the front of the man in blue, and the murderous air came to his face. A shadowy smile bloomed on the face of the man in blue, and his tone seemed to be soaked in frost and chill. It penetrated into the bones, "Your companions are all dead. What should I do? You are so unlucky that you fell into my hands!"
The man who escaped from death immediately ran to the man in blue and knelt down and said gratefully, "Thank you, hero for saving his life!" He looked up and saw that the man in blue was angular and irrational, but his face was pale, without a trace of blood, like a dead man. There is also her lip color, her hair color is light, and her eyes are enchanting red. Her whole body is like a demon, but with a sense of demon.
The man couldn't help swallowing his saliva and couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was a person or a ghost.
The man in blue narrowed his eyes, grabbed the black killer's skirt with one hand, and pointed to the man in front of him, and asked coldly, "What's your identity?" Why do these people want to kill you?
The man was about to answer when he saw the man in blue punching the killer in black in the face. He untied the mask on his face, pinched his chin, and said gently like an ice bald: "Take poison? Is there any poison in her mouth? Do you need me to beat off the teeth on the other side of yours?" She seemed to say to herself, "It seems safer!" As she spoke, she punched the other side of the black killer in the face. Suddenly, the black killer sprayed a mouthful of blood, and the blood was covered with teeth.
The killer in black was hit on the head by the man in blue, and he was softly held in one hand by the man in blue. The man in blue didn't care about what was in his hand at all, but focused on the man, "Say it!"
The man nodded and said, "The little man's name is Li Erhu. He was originally a farmer in Shanxi. A few days ago, there was a great drought, and after the drought, there was a big epidemic. In this plague, there were many fakes in many medicinal materials for disaster relief from the imperial court, and many people were also killed. This time, the villain It was to go to Beijing to sue the emperor. I hope the emperor can give us justice! Unexpectedly, he was chased and killed on the road, and all the villain's companions were killed by this group of people!"
"Oh!" The man in blue touched his chin, nodded and muttered, "It turns out that the person Murong Yao asked me to find is you. Although I got lost and delayed for some time, I didn't expect to be touched here!" She frowned again and looked at Li Erhu and said in a cold voice, "You think you can walk safely. Do you want to go to Chang'an?"
Li Erhu sniffed and said, "The companions of the villain have lost their lives for this. Even if the villain climbs, he has to climb to Chang'an. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of them and the villagers who are waiting for us to go back in his hometown!"
The man in blue stared at Li Erhu with red eyes and said faintly, "Don't worry, since I'm in charge of this matter, I will definitely take care of it to the end. I will definitely send you to Chang'an!" Although her words were sincere, her cold tone still made Li Erhu shiver.
Li Erhu immediately kowtowed to thank him, and looked up at the man in blue doubtfully. "Do you dare to ask the hero's name?"
"Summer frost!"
Li Erhu said, he only knew that the man in blue in front of him was a cold-hearted hero, and he could also send himself to Chang'an, but he felt that he had accumulated blessings in his previous life!
The black killer, who was just half dizzy, was not in such a good mood. When he smelled the word "Xia Shuang", his body suddenly cooled down. Who is Xia Shuang? She is one of the three leaders of the secret palace belonging to the royal family. She only listens to the emperor's orders and is cruel and vicious. If she falls into her hands, she will peel off her skin if she doesn't die. Legend has it that there is no mouth she can't open, and there is no case she can't solve.
Xia Shuang dragged the black killer with his heart ashes in one hand. While looking at Li Erhu, he said coldly, "Take the way ahead!"
"Ah?"
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a road idiot?"
The boss with Li Erhu's open mouth also muttered in his heart, is this person unreliable?
